From the Library of Congress, Citation Guide:

United States Congressional Serial Set
Based upon the Bluebook style, citations to the Serial Set should reference the specific House or Senate report or document.

S. Doc. No. 512, 23rd Cong., 1st Sess. (1833). (View the document cited)
H.R. Doc. No. 736, 56th Cong., 1st Sess. (1899). (View the document cited)

Sometimes the report’s author or title is included in the citation; for example, from the Department of Justice, “Freedom of Information Act Guide, May 2002”:
